Often the first image that comes to mind when one hears “stepmom” is Cinderella’s evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, who punishes and abuses Cinderella psychologically, motivated by her jealousy.

It’s no wonder why most women don’t relish that title or fear being part of a blended family. 

Today’s guest, Yolanda Ridley, however, was the contrary.

Yolanda was completely unfazed about becoming a stepmother, but she learned some valuable lessons as her journey wore on.

In this episode, Brandi and Yolanda Ridley, a personal growth writer and mental health advocate, share their step-parenting wins and struggles and lessons they’ve learned along the way. Yolanda also shares several important truths she wished biological moms understood.
